Trucker:

From insider (not confirmed) have been informed that the BV7 will be launched even with a 46" panel and a new speaker BL7-3, similar to BL7-2 but wider. You can off course instead choose the the BL7-4 as a alternative. Expect in stores at the end af year.

B&O continuosly improves their excesting AV with the newest technology (panels etc.) in all its lifetime without priceincrease, except yearly inflationrate 2-5 precent. So I don`t expect a big price increase with the new upgrade.

I don`t know what the price on 46" will be.

Hi !

The Upgrade BV7-40 will have a full HD panel (1920x1080P), with built in BS3 and the same number of connections as the BS3.

The launch i europe will be aug/sept 2007.

From insider (not confirmed) have been informed that the BV7 will be launched even with a 46" panel and a new speaker BL7-3, similar to BL7-2 but wider. You can off course instead choose the the BL7-4 as a alternative. Expect in stores at the end af year.

Rombeek:

Gustavo,
New 40" is not only about size, but also about extra inputs like HDMI?
So also the 32" will need the new panel with extra inputs!

Agree with you Rombeek. It would be disapointing not to have at least 2 HDMI sockets in BV brand new chassis. My salesman told me today that the new BV7 has no certain date to arrive, and that it may very well take 1 year. Of course he is trying to sell me a BV7 40". By the way he also mentioned that the new HDR with recordable DVD is to arrive in June, at less than 100€ more than the current cost of HDR2...

BV7 is already HD ready. What we are expecting is the Full D model.

Except when you watch HD signals on a BeoVision 7, most of the vision clear systems are bypassed I believe.

The difference we can expect will be like the difference between BeoSystem 1/2 + BeoVision 4 and the BeoSystem 3 + BeoVision 4. Massive difference in picture quality, especially when watching SD sources in regards to pixellation, and with HD in regards to colour balance and smoothness of movement...
